00:11:10,876 --> 00:11:13,959
so they're ready for a new hearing date
just as quickly as we schedule it.
171
00:11:14,043 --> 00:11:16,459
Don't you lose sleep
working for a psychopath?
172
00:11:16,543 --> 00:11:21,001
You think Nyland's any better?
Everyone in D.C. is out for themselves.
173
00:11:21,626 --> 00:11:23,918
-Including you.
-Thank you for your wise words.
174
00:11:24,001 --> 00:11:26,709
-Can we have a minute now?
-It's fine.
175
00:11:31,418 --> 00:11:34,918
-I'm sorry. I know you're pissed.
-What are you sorry about, Owen?
176
00:11:35,001 --> 00:11:36,876
Lying to me? The hotel bill?
177
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:39,501
Or using my credit card
to sleep with some Russian woman?
178
00:11:39,584 --> 00:11:42,084
That did not happpen, it was for work.
I slept on the couch.
179
00:11:42,168 --> 00:11:44,626
You don't have to lie to me.
I am not your girlfriend anymore.
180
00:11:44,709 --> 00:11:46,418
Hannah, I'm not lying to you.
181
00:11:49,793 --> 00:11:52,626
She's a former asset
that I was forced to babysit.
182
00:11:53,376 --> 00:11:55,251
She's the bane of my existence.
183
00:11:55,334 --> 00:11:59,043
I thought I got rid of her,
and then I was dragged back to Phoenix.
184
00:12:01,334 --> 00:12:02,959
Well, she sounded sexy.
185
00:12:03,793 --> 00:12:05,626
-Is she sexy?
-No, she's crazy.
186
00:12:05,709 --> 00:12:07,959
-You have a thing for crazy.
-I do not.
187
00:12:08,043 --> 00:12:12,209
Don't make me go through the laundry list
of hot and crazy you mowed through.
188
00:12:13,543 --> 00:12:16,126
I... I was processing our breakup.
189
00:12:16,209 --> 00:12:20,168
You're the most serious relationship
I ever had. I was trying to get over you.
190
00:12:25,001 --> 00:12:26,751
I am really sorry.
191
00:12:29,293 --> 00:12:31,418
I never should've
asked for your credit card,
192
00:12:31,501 --> 00:12:33,918
never should've involved you in my work.
193
00:12:34,376 --> 00:12:37,376
I'm still figuring out this job,
figuring out my life,
194
00:12:38,001 --> 00:12:42,751
and I've made a lot of mistakes,
but, by far, the worst one is hurting you.
195
00:12:50,543 --> 00:12:52,209
What am I gonna do with you?
196
00:12:53,418 --> 00:12:56,293
I know better
than to keep trying to fix you.
197
00:12:57,209 --> 00:12:58,376
But here I am,
198
00:12:58,459 --> 00:13:04,084
invested in the guy that you could be,
if you just got your shit together.
199
00:13:05,459 --> 00:13:07,293
So get your shit together.
200
00:13:14,626 --> 00:13:17,793
No, I think... I think we're good.
201
00:13:17,876 --> 00:13:20,043
Okay. I'm gonna cut you off.
202
00:13:20,543 --> 00:13:23,751
Fine. But you have to help me
with the scavenger hunt.
203
00:13:23,834 --> 00:13:25,668
-[clears throat]
-Sure. Yeah. Please.
204
00:13:26,334 --> 00:13:30,126
Oh, there's, like, a CIA thingy here.
Donus Kronus? No...
205
00:13:30,751 --> 00:13:32,251
-Kryptos Donuts?
-Kryptos.
206
00:13:32,334 --> 00:13:33,668
What the fuck is that?
207
00:13:33,751 --> 00:13:37,334
It's a sculpture at Langley
of an unsolved encrypted message.
208
00:13:37,418 --> 00:13:39,251
The donut shop in the CIA lobby
209
00:13:39,334 --> 00:13:42,459
sells a donut that has the code
out of powdered sugar.
210
00:13:42,543 --> 00:13:44,668
You can only get it
if you work at the CIA.
211
00:13:45,293 --> 00:13:48,501
-I'll just grab a bag of them. You know?
-[man] Mr. Hendricks.
212
00:13:49,959 --> 00:13:51,459
He just got here.
213
00:13:52,584 --> 00:13:54,543
Can you just give me a minute, please?
214
00:13:54,626 --> 00:13:56,918
-No can do.
-Yeah, can do.
215
00:13:57,001 --> 00:13:59,459
I'm talking to my friend.
I'll come when it's over.
216
00:13:59,543 --> 00:14:01,918
-The chief of staff can fucking wait.
-No, he can't.
217
00:14:02,001 --> 00:14:06,126
-Yeah, he can. What are you--? No.
-Owen. It's fine.
218
00:14:06,209 --> 00:14:09,584
It's not okay. I'm sorry, again.
219
00:14:11,293 --> 00:14:13,001
I'll bring you some donuts.
220
00:14:29,584 --> 00:14:32,334
[Mills] I was very clear. If the president
needs to call you about this,
221
00:14:32,418 --> 00:14:34,334
you will find yourself primaried.
222
00:14:37,668 --> 00:14:39,209
Is that a piña colada?
223
00:14:39,293 --> 00:14:41,209
Yeah, you want some?
224
00:14:41,293 --> 00:14:43,418
No. What have you found?
225
00:14:43,501 --> 00:14:44,334
Yeah.
226
00:14:45,543 --> 00:14:50,876
Uh-- Actually, first...
How well do you know Senator Smoot?
227
00:14:51,793 --> 00:14:56,459
Well enough to know he is not the asshole
who gave your asset my CIA nickname.
228
00:14:57,043 --> 00:15:00,876
Okay. He sent me a subpoena,
mostly to get at my boss.
229
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:03,126
But it's gonna jam me up,
so I'd like for it to go away.
230
00:15:03,209 --> 00:15:04,043
Permanently.
231
00:15:04,626 --> 00:15:07,001
And for him to leave the OGC alone
for a while.
232
00:15:08,251 --> 00:15:10,209
Leverage is nice, isn't it?
233
00:15:10,793 --> 00:15:11,751
Yeah.
234
00:15:13,043 --> 00:15:15,001
So can you make him stand down?
235
00:15:15,084 --> 00:15:17,209
Yeah. He'll squawk, but, yeah.
236
00:15:17,293 --> 00:15:18,251
Great.
237
00:15:19,209 --> 00:15:21,543
The case officer
that broke security protocol
238
00:15:21,626 --> 00:15:25,251
and told an asset your former nickname
is Xander Goi.
239
00:15:26,334 --> 00:15:29,668
Never heard of him. You trust the source?
240
00:15:30,168 --> 00:15:34,043
-The source is the former asset.
-Which means you don't trust her.
241
00:15:34,126 --> 00:15:35,959
Except this makes sense.
242
00:15:36,043 --> 00:15:38,376
I went to Vienna
to speak to Xander about the asset,
243
00:15:38,459 --> 00:15:39,668
and the next thing I know,
244
00:15:39,751 --> 00:15:42,168
someone tries to kill me
on the way to the airport.
245
00:15:43,209 --> 00:15:44,043
Interesting.
246
00:15:45,043 --> 00:15:48,834
Sounds like Goi has a lot more to hide
than my CIA nickname.
247
00:15:50,668 --> 00:15:52,126
Okay, I'll handle it.
248
00:15:54,501 --> 00:15:56,626
Sir, when you-- Forgive me.
249
00:15:56,709 --> 00:15:59,543
When you say "handle it,"
you mean you'll call and yell at him,
250
00:15:59,626 --> 00:16:02,501
or are you gonna poison needle
jam him on a pastry run?
251
00:16:05,751 --> 00:16:08,876
Things seem hectic over at the OGC lately.
252
00:16:09,834 --> 00:16:11,834
Could be good for me
to have a clear picture
253
00:16:11,918 --> 00:16:14,168
of potential problems
that might land on my desk.
254
00:16:16,751 --> 00:16:19,834
-Is that--? Are you asking me--?
-You've proven yourself useful.
255
00:16:19,918 --> 00:16:22,168
I'm asking if you'd like to continue.
256
00:16:25,668 --> 00:16:27,918
Well, I appreciate that, sir.
257
00:16:29,459 --> 00:16:34,251
But I have too much respect for Mr. Nyland
to do anything behind his back.
258
00:16:40,084 --> 00:16:41,751
Good. You passed.
259
00:16:42,834 --> 00:16:46,959
Nyland's a friend.
I'd never actually ask you to betray him.
260
00:16:47,709 --> 00:16:49,168
-We're done.
-[alarm chimes]
261
00:16:50,459 --> 00:16:52,334
You can drink your piña colada.
262
00:17:03,501 --> 00:17:06,418
[Dawn] The first step to becoming
an official asset is paperwork.
263
00:17:06,501 --> 00:17:09,084
Dozens of forms to fill out,
including a full history.
264
00:17:09,168 --> 00:17:12,334
Then you'll go through a psych eval,
and finally you'll get polygraphed.
265
00:17:12,418 --> 00:17:13,626
The riskiest part.
266
00:17:13,709 --> 00:17:15,543
Not for me. I lie for a living.
267
00:17:15,626 --> 00:17:19,668
There's literally a sensor on the chair
to measure your sphincter response.
268
00:17:19,751 --> 00:17:20,626
My what?
269
00:17:21,209 --> 00:17:23,043
Your butt pucker.
270
00:17:25,751 --> 00:17:28,459
If we're trying to slip Max in
as a brand new asset,
271
00:17:28,543 --> 00:17:32,084
don't we all have to be on the same page
about her recruitment backstory?
272
00:17:32,168 --> 00:17:35,668
Yes, we'll say her name came up
in intelligence gathering,
273
00:17:35,751 --> 00:17:38,543
we did a little digging
and discovered that she was in prison.
274
00:17:38,626 --> 00:17:41,834
-We got her out in exchange for--
-No, we didn't get her out.
275
00:17:41,918 --> 00:17:44,084
When her case was thrown out,
276
00:17:44,168 --> 00:17:47,584
it created an opportunity
for Operations to recruit her.
277
00:17:47,668 --> 00:17:48,793
[elevator bell dings]
278
00:17:49,793 --> 00:17:54,043
What? Wha-- Who brings a kid to the CIA?
279
00:17:54,126 --> 00:17:57,668
Someone doesn't check his e-mails.
It's Family Day.
280
00:17:58,876 --> 00:18:03,209
The perfect day to vet Max because
they've scrubbed the office for civilians.
281
00:18:08,834 --> 00:18:11,626
-I thought it would be nicer.
-Ha. Yeah.
282
00:18:11,709 --> 00:18:15,043
When I showed up, I thought it'd be
Mission: Impossible, high-tech shit.
283
00:18:15,834 --> 00:18:19,543
All I got was a 20-year-old computer
and a shredder from the Cold War.
284
00:18:37,668 --> 00:18:40,418
-You got any friends up there?
-No.
285
00:18:40,918 --> 00:18:42,751
[Dawn]
A lot's changed since you've been gone.
286
00:18:42,834 --> 00:18:45,959
Turns out being a Russian mobster
has a high degree of getting you killed.
287
00:18:46,043 --> 00:18:48,293
Top row is management, right?
288
00:18:48,376 --> 00:18:51,376
Council. Only a few remain from my time.
289
00:18:51,459 --> 00:18:55,209
There's Stas, Lev, Ivan.
290
00:18:55,293 --> 00:18:57,668
Stas was the one who approved
my execution.
291
00:18:57,751 --> 00:19:00,084
You'll have to kill him
along with a few lieutenants.
292
00:19:00,168 --> 00:19:02,084
Sorry, we're killing people now?
293
00:19:02,168 --> 00:19:06,001
She means neutralize,
and we've already started a list.
294
00:19:06,084 --> 00:19:09,251
Yuri. Oksana.
295
00:19:10,793 --> 00:19:11,751
Nichka.
296
00:19:12,251 --> 00:19:15,543
No, I think I can
win over Yuri and Nichka.
297
00:19:16,168 --> 00:19:19,709
Oksana definitely has to be killed,
or neutralized.
298
00:19:20,584 --> 00:19:22,709
-Do you know who the gatekeeper is yet?
-[Owen] The who?
299
00:19:22,793 --> 00:19:26,293
It's the Council member who I need
to bribe to welcome me back on.
300
00:19:26,376 --> 00:19:29,084
We're working on it. Paperwork time.
301
00:19:38,793 --> 00:19:39,876
May I?
302
00:19:39,959 --> 00:19:41,501
[Dawn] Knock yourself out.
303
00:19:43,751 --> 00:19:44,834
Full name.
304
00:19:45,876 --> 00:19:48,584
Maxine Vasilyevna Meladze.
305
00:19:49,293 --> 00:19:50,543
Birthplace?
306
00:19:52,168 --> 00:19:53,918
Babruysk, Belarus.
307
00:19:55,043 --> 00:19:56,334
Parents?
308
00:19:56,918 --> 00:19:57,793
Deceased.
309
00:19:59,543 --> 00:20:01,584
-Siblings?
-Deceased.
310
00:20:02,084 --> 00:20:03,084
Marital status?
311
00:20:15,251 --> 00:20:16,418
Widowed.
312
00:20:18,876 --> 00:20:19,876
Children?
313
00:20:23,209 --> 00:20:24,209
None.
314
00:20:33,043 --> 00:20:35,501
All right. I'm gonna go talk to the shrink
and the polygrapher.
315
00:20:35,584 --> 00:20:39,209
Play up the fact I'm new and never
overseen an evaluation of an asset before.
316
00:20:39,293 --> 00:20:41,959
With luck, I'll be able to flag
any potential issues
317
00:20:42,043 --> 00:20:43,626
before Max even sits down.
318
00:20:44,334 --> 00:20:45,334
That's smart.
319
00:20:45,418 --> 00:20:47,001
Yeah, I know.
320
00:20:49,501 --> 00:20:52,334
God, I could be at a spa right now.
321
00:20:52,418 --> 00:20:54,918
I say we wait an hour, then we sneak out.
322
00:20:55,001 --> 00:20:56,001
Yeah.
323
00:21:00,168 --> 00:21:01,584
Are you guys hiding in here?
324
00:21:01,668 --> 00:21:02,793
A hundred percent.
325
00:21:04,418 --> 00:21:05,959
Can one of you two do me a huge favor?
326
00:21:06,043 --> 00:21:07,043
-What?
-No.
327
00:21:07,959 --> 00:21:09,501
Can I tag you in on my graymail case?
328
00:21:09,584 --> 00:21:12,126
She's being vetted and I feel
a more seasoned attorney is required.
329
00:21:12,209 --> 00:21:15,001
Forget it. The only reason
you'd try to pawn this off on us
330
00:21:15,084 --> 00:21:17,668
is if it was a shit show
you were trying to get away from.
331
00:21:17,751 --> 00:21:18,709
That's not true.
332
00:21:19,751 --> 00:21:21,251
Hard pass. Good luck.
333
00:21:21,334 --> 00:21:23,043
What if I ask Nyland?
334
00:21:24,793 --> 00:21:27,293
You're gonna tell the boss
you're incapable of doing your job?
335
00:21:27,376 --> 00:21:30,584
Confess all your fuck-ups and let him
use them against you? Go for it.
336
00:21:30,668 --> 00:21:32,376
You've been super helpful. Thank you.
337
00:21:36,418 --> 00:21:38,501
Hey, kids.
Lester's got candy in his office.
338
00:21:38,584 --> 00:21:40,084
[children giggling]
339
00:21:41,668 --> 00:21:42,501
Enjoy.
340
00:21:49,709 --> 00:21:52,084
Guys, who did this?
341
00:21:53,626 --> 00:21:54,459
What?
342
00:21:55,293 --> 00:21:57,043
Uh, should I come back, sir?
343
00:21:57,126 --> 00:22:01,126
No, no, no. Things will only
get worse once the sugar kicks in.
344
00:22:01,209 --> 00:22:02,459
Guys. Come on.
345
00:22:02,543 --> 00:22:04,251
Give Dad a minute, all right?
346
00:22:04,334 --> 00:22:06,043
Wanna go play in the waiting room?
347
00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:08,668
Yay.
348
00:22:08,751 --> 00:22:09,959
[growling playfully]
349
00:22:12,126 --> 00:22:13,126
Get out of here.
350
00:22:14,334 --> 00:22:15,418
Thank you.
351
00:22:17,418 --> 00:22:18,418
[groans]
352
00:22:20,209 --> 00:22:24,001
The asset has been secured.
Gilbane is starting the vetting process.
353
00:22:24,543 --> 00:22:27,043
I assume you want me to provide oversight?
354
00:22:27,126 --> 00:22:30,459
Yes, the asset is still on our dance card
until she's fully vetted.
355
00:22:32,751 --> 00:22:35,959
You wouldn't happen to have any advice
for me to help me navigate the process?
356
00:22:36,043 --> 00:22:38,376
Well, unfortunately there's
not a lot you can do.
357
00:22:38,876 --> 00:22:41,626
We don't get any control
over the questions in the swirl.
358
00:22:41,709 --> 00:22:45,084
Clearly you have to hide her
agency history from the polygrapher.
359
00:22:45,168 --> 00:22:48,751
-What about her criminal history?
-No one cares.
360
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:53,918
She was a spy, traitor to her country.
Agency expects her to be a scumbag.
361
00:22:55,334 --> 00:22:56,209
Anything else?
362
00:22:57,459 --> 00:22:59,334
No. Uh, yes.
363
00:22:59,418 --> 00:23:04,251
Actually, I had a meeting--
Two meetings with Kevin Mills, Not Bob.
364
00:23:04,918 --> 00:23:08,918
He wanted to discuss the asset situation
and why his nickname had come up.
365
00:23:09,543 --> 00:23:10,668
You didn't tell me that.
366
00:23:10,751 --> 00:23:13,751
I wanted you to have deniability
in case things went south.
367
00:23:14,584 --> 00:23:18,084
I assured him that
it was an isolated incident and then...
368
00:23:19,293 --> 00:23:23,459
he asked me if I wanted to spy for him
at the OGC, and I said no.
369
00:23:30,501 --> 00:23:31,334
I know.
370
00:23:33,751 --> 00:23:37,126
Kevin called me, said it was a test,
371
00:23:37,209 --> 00:23:38,668
and you passed.
372
00:23:41,959 --> 00:23:45,168
Did he say that to you because
he thought I wouldn't say anything,
373
00:23:45,251 --> 00:23:46,751
or because I would?
374
00:23:47,459 --> 00:23:50,626
Good question. Always assume the worst.
375
00:23:50,709 --> 00:23:53,751
Fewer surprises. Now, get back to work.
376
00:23:54,584 --> 00:23:57,834
Hey, guys. Who wants a donut?
377
00:23:57,918 --> 00:23:59,668
[tense music playing]
378
00:24:05,084 --> 00:24:08,293
-Hey, I've been looking for you.
-Sorry, can't really talk now--
379
00:24:08,376 --> 00:24:11,834
-Good. I just need your pretty face.
-What is happening?
380
00:24:11,918 --> 00:24:13,834
[Amelia] Selfies for my mom. Look cute.
381
00:24:14,376 --> 00:24:16,626
-Jesus.
-She found out it's Family Day.
382
00:24:16,709 --> 00:24:20,126
I've gotten three messages about the fact
I haven't given her grandkids.
383
00:24:20,209 --> 00:24:21,293
Right.
384
00:24:21,876 --> 00:24:25,293
-What's wrong with you?
-Nothing. I'm just a little overwhelmed.
385
00:24:25,376 --> 00:24:28,209
You don't wanna help me
get my graymailer vetted, do you?
386
00:24:28,293 --> 00:24:29,876
-Fuck no.
-I didn't think so.
387
00:24:29,959 --> 00:24:32,793
Can you point me in the right direction
for Dr. Hirsch, the psychologist?
388
00:24:33,418 --> 00:24:35,501
Not for me. He's vetting the asset.
389
00:24:36,418 --> 00:24:39,668
Fourth floor. But stay out of his office,
or everyone'll think you're nuts.
390
00:24:39,751 --> 00:24:40,959
Sure. Thank you.
391
00:24:45,751 --> 00:24:48,834
Hey, Dr. Hirsch? Hi, I'm Owen Hendricks.
392
00:24:48,918 --> 00:24:52,709
Oh, yes, and I owe you a psych eval
for a new asset.
393
00:24:52,793 --> 00:24:56,876
-I thought we weren't starting till 12:30.
-No, we're not. I just, um...
394
00:24:56,959 --> 00:25:00,084
I'm new, and I guess I'm a little nervous.
395
00:25:00,168 --> 00:25:03,459
Well, say no more.
Have a seat. Let's talk about it.
396
00:25:03,543 --> 00:25:05,584
Uh, I'm not here for me.
397
00:25:06,168 --> 00:25:10,376
I figured I'd introduce myself
before you sat down with the asset.
398
00:25:10,959 --> 00:25:15,418
-You know, see if I could help at all.
-Look, since you're new, I'll be honest,
399
00:25:15,501 --> 00:25:17,251
I always check yes, okay?
400
00:25:17,751 --> 00:25:20,668
Unless they pull down their pants
and take a dump on the floor, I pass them.
401
00:25:20,751 --> 00:25:23,293
Actually, there was a guy I passed
who pissed himself,
402
00:25:23,376 --> 00:25:26,459
but he was charming in all other respects.
403
00:25:28,168 --> 00:25:30,834
Oh, okay, great. That's...
404
00:25:31,501 --> 00:25:36,376
Um, hey, you don't happen to know
the polygrapher, Dustin something?
405
00:25:36,459 --> 00:25:39,209
Dustin Hatch. That kid's wound tight.
406
00:25:41,084 --> 00:25:45,459
-Um, meaning?
-Let's say, he's as tough as I am easy.
407
00:25:45,959 --> 00:25:49,584
If your asset makes a single screw up,
he'll bounce them.
408
00:25:49,668 --> 00:25:50,793
[tense music playing]
409
00:25:55,043 --> 00:26:00,418
Right. You don't happen to see
a lot of employees suffering from anxiety?
410
00:26:00,501 --> 00:26:01,876
No, most of them enjoy it.
411
00:26:02,876 --> 00:26:04,459
-That's a joke.
-Right.
412
00:26:04,543 --> 00:26:08,168
Actually, it's not.
You kind of have to be crazy to work here.
413
00:26:08,668 --> 00:26:10,543
Are you having anxiety?
414
00:26:10,626 --> 00:26:12,709
No. No, no. I was just asking.
415
00:26:13,543 --> 00:26:15,043
I will see you out there.
416
00:26:16,293 --> 00:26:17,168
Hi.
417
00:26:31,501 --> 00:26:34,959
-[Hatch] You okay in there?
-Yeah. Yeah.
418
00:26:47,501 --> 00:26:49,043
Hey.
419
00:26:49,126 --> 00:26:50,709
Are you the polygrapher?
420
00:26:50,793 --> 00:26:52,293
-Yes, sir.
-Yeah?
421
00:26:52,376 --> 00:26:54,084
Dustin Hatch.
422
00:26:54,168 --> 00:26:56,918
Owen Hendricks, OGC.
423
00:26:57,001 --> 00:26:58,501
I just started a couple of weeks ago.
424
00:26:58,584 --> 00:27:00,834
This is the first asset I've vetted.
425
00:27:00,918 --> 00:27:04,418
Pretty standard stuff.
You've been swirled before, obviously.
426
00:27:04,501 --> 00:27:08,376
Same protocol, control questions,
and then the heavy stuff.
427
00:27:08,459 --> 00:27:10,459
As long as she tells the truth,
we'll be done in 30.
428
00:27:10,543 --> 00:27:11,626
Good to know.
429
00:27:25,876 --> 00:27:29,459
People are fascinated with the whole
lie detector thing, aren't they?
430
00:27:29,543 --> 00:27:30,626
I guess.
431
00:27:30,709 --> 00:27:32,626
You ever taken it over
to a friend's place,
432
00:27:32,709 --> 00:27:35,376
wait for your buddy to get loaded
and then strap him in?
433
00:27:37,293 --> 00:27:38,959
No. I haven't.
434
00:27:39,876 --> 00:27:42,834
You know, agency equipment
is carefully calibrated.
435
00:27:42,918 --> 00:27:46,709
So any deviance
would impugn the validity of the test.
436
00:27:46,793 --> 00:27:48,001
Right. No, of course.
437
00:27:48,084 --> 00:27:51,459
I just meant I wonder what would
happen to the results if you were drunk.
438
00:27:52,043 --> 00:27:53,293
I don't drink.
439
00:27:55,584 --> 00:27:58,251
Right on, right on.
Yeah. No, neither do I.
440
00:28:06,501 --> 00:28:07,459
[knocking on door]
441
00:28:07,543 --> 00:28:09,251
-[Owen] Hey, you got a sec?
-No.
442
00:28:09,334 --> 00:28:11,001
Great, I saw this yesterday.
443
00:28:11,084 --> 00:28:14,626
I thought that it looked important.
Was wondering if it means anything to you.
444
00:28:16,168 --> 00:28:18,918
Hey, buddy. Have you seen this?
445
00:28:20,626 --> 00:28:22,418
Jesus. Motherfucker.
446
00:28:22,501 --> 00:28:24,751
-I'll take that as a yes.
-Where did you see that?
447
00:28:24,834 --> 00:28:28,376
-You don't want to know.
-Where did you fucking see that?
448
00:28:28,459 --> 00:28:32,168
It was in a train car in Arizona
owned by the Aquino Cartel.
449
00:28:32,251 --> 00:28:35,959
There were a dozen crates
with this symbol. What are they?
450
00:28:36,043 --> 00:28:39,543
Uh, they are why I was Ambien sandwiched.
451
00:28:39,626 --> 00:28:42,209
[Owen] That doesn't sound good,
but what are they?
452
00:28:43,126 --> 00:28:44,084
What are they?
453
00:28:46,209 --> 00:28:48,168
American anti-tank missiles.
454
00:28:48,251 --> 00:28:51,543
Basically, a terrorist's wet dream.
455
00:28:51,626 --> 00:28:56,126
My nightmare spec ops team
is smuggling them out of the country,
456
00:28:56,209 --> 00:28:58,918
so they can covertly track who buys them.
457
00:28:59,543 --> 00:29:03,876
They're dumb enough to think this
will turn into a terrorist turkey shoot,
458
00:29:03,959 --> 00:29:05,793
instead of a career-ending clusterfuck
459
00:29:05,876 --> 00:29:08,959
that will headline the New York Times
for a month.
460
00:29:09,751 --> 00:29:10,626
[line ringing]
461
00:29:10,709 --> 00:29:13,626
-I'll just leave you to it.
-Don't fucking move.
462
00:29:13,709 --> 00:29:14,626
Fuck.
463
00:29:15,584 --> 00:29:17,418
-[man] Hello?
-Oh, hi, it's me.
464
00:29:17,501 --> 00:29:20,043
You made a deal
with a fucking drug cartel?
465
00:29:20,834 --> 00:29:23,501
-I don't know what you're talking about.
-Bullshit.
466
00:29:23,584 --> 00:29:25,459
I have an eyewitness.
467
00:29:29,126 --> 00:29:31,501
Hey. Hi, I work with Janus.
468
00:29:31,584 --> 00:29:34,459
I saw the rockets
on the cartel freight train.
469
00:29:34,543 --> 00:29:37,001
What were you doing on a cartel train?
470
00:29:37,084 --> 00:29:39,209
Not the point.
471
00:29:40,001 --> 00:29:42,209
Get the rockets back now.
472
00:29:42,293 --> 00:29:46,793
Look, say we did make a deal
with a third party for distribution.
473
00:29:46,876 --> 00:29:50,376
We definitely would've disabled
the rockets before we handed them over.
474
00:29:50,459 --> 00:29:53,876
Uh, yeah, if you're talking about
clipping the guidance wires,
475
00:29:53,959 --> 00:29:57,001
there is a YouTube video
on how to fix that.
476
00:30:01,418 --> 00:30:04,084
-Let me get back to you.
-Yeah, you do that.
477
00:30:04,959 --> 00:30:06,334
We are so fucked.
478
00:30:08,043 --> 00:30:08,918
We?
479
00:30:10,084 --> 00:30:13,168
Uh, if I have to testify
480
00:30:13,251 --> 00:30:15,876
about how I allowed
an unsanctioned covert op
481
00:30:15,959 --> 00:30:18,084
to put rockets in the hands of terrorists,
482
00:30:18,168 --> 00:30:22,168
you'll have to testify about
how you ended up on a cartel drug train.
483
00:30:22,251 --> 00:30:23,584
That would be bad.
484
00:30:23,668 --> 00:30:25,668
Yeah, asshole.
485
00:30:25,751 --> 00:30:27,418
If Congress finds out about this,
486
00:30:27,501 --> 00:30:30,043
it will be the biggest scandal
in a generation.
487
00:30:34,293 --> 00:30:35,751
[tense music playing]
488
00:30:56,084 --> 00:30:57,626
Oh. Dustin.
489
00:30:58,376 --> 00:31:00,751
Hey. I wanna clear the air from earlier.
490
00:31:00,834 --> 00:31:02,376
I was just being friendly,
491
00:31:02,459 --> 00:31:04,626
trying to get a sense
of what the deal was.
492
00:31:04,709 --> 00:31:08,084
I wasn't trying to suck up or sway
the outcome of this thing in any way.
493
00:31:09,793 --> 00:31:13,084
You're saying you were trying to influence
the impartiality of the swirl?
494
00:31:13,168 --> 00:31:16,959
What? No. That's the exact opposite
of what I was trying to say.
495
00:31:17,043 --> 00:31:18,418
Okay, Amish, she's all yours.
496
00:31:25,626 --> 00:31:26,793
So?
497
00:31:26,876 --> 00:31:31,293
So she's incredibly intelligent
and profoundly ruthless.
498
00:31:31,376 --> 00:31:34,793
She'll make a phenomenal asset,
but you can't trust her,
499
00:31:34,876 --> 00:31:36,293
like, at all.
500
00:31:40,626 --> 00:31:41,501
I need to pee.
501
00:31:46,501 --> 00:31:49,543
[Owen] Whoa, hey.
I thought you said you had to pee?
502
00:31:49,626 --> 00:31:52,959
I do but if holding it will help
with the polygraph, so will these.
503
00:31:53,043 --> 00:31:56,918
If he finds out you messed with
your heart rate, he'll fail you.
504
00:31:57,001 --> 00:31:59,376
If I don't pass the polygraph, I'm dead.
505
00:32:00,459 --> 00:32:02,501
Is that what Ellen told you
in your pre-brief?
506
00:32:02,584 --> 00:32:07,001
-Yes. So you need to make sure I pass.
-I don't have that kind of power.
507
00:32:07,084 --> 00:32:09,834
-I thought you wanted to help me.
-I do. I can't help with this.
508
00:32:09,918 --> 00:32:13,001
Do you still not understand me
after all we've been through?
509
00:32:13,084 --> 00:32:15,043
I will do what I must to survive,
510
00:32:15,126 --> 00:32:19,501
and that means exposing your duplicity
and criminality if I think it will help.
511
00:32:51,293 --> 00:32:55,251
Jeez, your baseline is super twitchy.
512
00:32:57,334 --> 00:32:58,293
Are you nervous?
513
00:32:59,668 --> 00:33:00,543
A little.
514
00:33:01,043 --> 00:33:03,376
Well, don't be.
515
00:33:03,918 --> 00:33:06,543
As long as you tell the truth,
this will be easy.
516
00:33:15,709 --> 00:33:17,668
Do you think she's gonna pass?
517
00:33:19,584 --> 00:33:21,251
What happens if she doesn't?
518
00:33:26,751 --> 00:33:32,459
Remind me, back in Yemen you said
you hadn't met Max before, right?
519
00:33:32,543 --> 00:33:33,501
Right.
520
00:33:37,001 --> 00:33:37,876
Why?
521
00:33:38,709 --> 00:33:41,793
It's just, ever since she's gotten here,
522
00:33:41,876 --> 00:33:44,459
you haven't asked me
one question about her.
523
00:33:45,293 --> 00:33:47,626
And yet, it feels like you know
exactly who she is.
524
00:33:47,709 --> 00:33:49,918
[Hatch] All right, Miss Meladze,
525
00:33:50,793 --> 00:33:52,918
First, I'll ask you a couple of questions.
526
00:33:53,001 --> 00:33:54,751
Please answer yes or no.
527
00:33:56,001 --> 00:33:58,209
Is your name Maxine Meladze?
528
00:33:58,293 --> 00:33:59,293
Yes.
529
00:33:59,876 --> 00:34:01,501
Were you born in the United States?
530
00:34:03,001 --> 00:34:03,876
No.
531
00:34:06,959 --> 00:34:10,668
Relax, Miss Meladze,
so we can get an accurate reading.
532
00:34:12,418 --> 00:34:13,334
[clears throat]
533
00:34:14,959 --> 00:34:16,918
Were you born in Belarus?
534
00:34:17,793 --> 00:34:18,668
[Max] Yes.
535
00:34:21,459 --> 00:34:24,918
Please lie to the next question
to establish your baseline.
536
00:34:26,209 --> 00:34:28,418
Is it the year 2015?
537
00:34:28,501 --> 00:34:29,709
Yes.
538
00:34:29,793 --> 00:34:31,584
Okay.
539
00:34:34,418 --> 00:34:35,334
Good.
540
00:34:37,793 --> 00:34:40,626
Now, how were you recruited?
541
00:35:00,709 --> 00:35:03,168
-[engine starts]
-[pop music playing over stereo]
542
00:35:07,584 --> 00:35:09,084
I work for the CIA.
543
00:35:10,584 --> 00:35:13,751
I know you killed your husband
and blamed his murder on a rival.
544
00:35:14,293 --> 00:35:16,418
Then used the tragedy to drop some bodies
545
00:35:16,501 --> 00:35:19,626
and take your late husband's place
in the Russian mafia.
546
00:35:20,376 --> 00:35:23,543
And I know if the Council
were to find out what you did...
547
00:35:23,626 --> 00:35:26,043
they'd cut you apart with a blowtorch.
548
00:35:30,709 --> 00:35:31,793
What do you want?
549
00:35:33,126 --> 00:35:35,043
For you to start working for me.
550
00:35:36,209 --> 00:35:37,876
Nothing dangerous. Just...
551
00:35:38,959 --> 00:35:41,334
tell me everything everybody tells you,
552
00:35:41,793 --> 00:35:45,126
especially your friends
in Russian military intelligence.
553
00:35:45,709 --> 00:35:47,043
And if I say no?
554
00:35:47,918 --> 00:35:48,793
You won't.
555
00:35:49,834 --> 00:35:50,918
You can't.
556
00:35:53,501 --> 00:35:55,084
I'll be in touch.
557
00:35:56,001 --> 00:36:00,209
A case officer approached me,
when I came out of prison.
558
00:36:01,834 --> 00:36:04,793
She made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
559
00:36:16,418 --> 00:36:18,043
[Nyland] That's a strong accusation.
560
00:36:18,126 --> 00:36:20,501
Yes, sir.
But this operation is priority one,
561
00:36:20,584 --> 00:36:22,584
and I don't feel comfortable
taking Hendricks
562
00:36:22,668 --> 00:36:24,626
if there's even a hint
he's been compromised.
563
00:36:24,709 --> 00:36:25,751
[knocking on door]
564
00:36:29,376 --> 00:36:30,543
What's going on?
565
00:36:30,626 --> 00:36:32,543
[Nyland] Gilbane wants to swirl Hendricks.
566
00:36:32,626 --> 00:36:35,751
She's worried he's been compromised
by our squeaky wheel.
567
00:36:36,751 --> 00:36:38,834
Since when do we trust Operations?
568
00:36:38,918 --> 00:36:42,876
You're just trying to torpedo Owen
because you don't a lawyer on your op.
569
00:36:42,959 --> 00:36:45,584
They shared a hotel room
together in Phoenix.
570
00:36:57,418 --> 00:36:59,001
You sent someone to spy on him?
571
00:36:59,084 --> 00:37:02,668
Given Meladze's value,
I felt I had no other choice.
572
00:37:07,251 --> 00:37:08,251
Go get Hendricks.
573
00:37:09,376 --> 00:37:13,918
You shouldn't be here when I tell him.
Go make sure the asset is squared away.
574
00:37:14,626 --> 00:37:18,959
Fine, but I am observing the swirl.
It's my operation.
575
00:37:19,043 --> 00:37:20,084
Understood.
576
00:37:20,168 --> 00:37:24,543
But Salazar will be observing with you.
He's my guy.
577
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:34,793
Owen's not gonna be happy.
578
00:37:35,793 --> 00:37:37,126
[Owen] This is bullshit!
579
00:37:37,209 --> 00:37:39,293
[Nyland] It's a single-issue polygraph.
580
00:37:40,168 --> 00:37:43,626
There's a concern the squeaky wheel
may have compromised your objectivity.
581
00:37:43,709 --> 00:37:45,709
A concern. Of whose?
582
00:37:45,793 --> 00:37:47,876
Gilbane's?
She's just trying to get rid of me.
583
00:37:47,959 --> 00:37:49,918
She's not even being subtle about it.
584
00:37:50,001 --> 00:37:52,834
You shared a hotel room with Meladze
in Phoenix.
585
00:37:53,668 --> 00:37:55,043
Yes, of course, I did.
586
00:37:55,126 --> 00:37:56,709
She ditched her first babysitters.
587
00:37:56,793 --> 00:37:58,626
So they asked me
to go down there and get her.
588
00:37:58,709 --> 00:38:01,709
How stupid would I have been
if I let her have her own room?
589
00:38:01,793 --> 00:38:04,084
Listen to me. Listen to me.
590
00:38:04,168 --> 00:38:07,084
Gilbane is the one who has been
compromised by the asset.
591
00:38:07,168 --> 00:38:08,626
You have proof of that?
592
00:38:10,209 --> 00:38:11,043
No.
593
00:38:12,668 --> 00:38:14,376
But there's clearly
a history between them,
594
00:38:14,459 --> 00:38:16,376
even if she insists that there isn't.
595
00:38:16,459 --> 00:38:17,584
Look, my hands are tied.
596
00:38:18,959 --> 00:38:21,584
She made a formal request.
I can't legally ignore it.
597
00:38:21,668 --> 00:38:24,168
But Salazar will oversee the swirl.
598
00:38:24,668 --> 00:38:27,001
She'll make sure
everything stays on track.
599
00:38:49,626 --> 00:38:51,334
[Hatch] Is your name Owen Hendricks?
600
00:38:53,626 --> 00:38:54,459
Yes.
601
00:38:54,543 --> 00:38:56,459
-[Hatch] Are you 24 years old?
-Yes.
602
00:38:57,376 --> 00:39:00,959
Please lie to the next question
to establish your baseline.
603
00:39:01,043 --> 00:39:03,251
Are you a citizen of the United States?
604
00:39:03,334 --> 00:39:04,376
No.
605
00:39:05,918 --> 00:39:09,584
Did you lie earlier
when you told me that you didn't drink?
606
00:39:11,126 --> 00:39:12,418
Yeah.
607
00:39:16,126 --> 00:39:18,543
You know these tests are dog shit, right?
608
00:39:19,668 --> 00:39:21,126
The National Academy of Sciences
609
00:39:21,209 --> 00:39:23,501
says they're no more accurate
than flipping a coin.
610
00:39:23,584 --> 00:39:25,043
That study was incredibly flawed.
611
00:39:25,126 --> 00:39:27,793
You're saying that 'cause
you'd be out of a job if people bought it.
612
00:39:27,876 --> 00:39:29,876
-No, that's not true--
-Come on.
613
00:39:29,959 --> 00:39:34,959
Any test that I can fool by clenching my
sphincter is flawed. I'll prove it to you.
614
00:39:35,043 --> 00:39:37,376
-I'm clenching, I'm not clenching...
-Mr. Hendricks.
615
00:39:37,459 --> 00:39:41,084
Mr. Hendricks could you stop that.
Would you stop doing that?
616
00:39:42,501 --> 00:39:44,751
Tampering with the test
is an automatic failure.
617
00:39:45,376 --> 00:39:47,751
Fine. I've ceased clenching.
618
00:39:47,834 --> 00:39:49,834
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
619
00:39:54,168 --> 00:39:58,293
Have you ever had contact with Maxine
Meladze prior to joining the OGC?
620
00:39:58,376 --> 00:39:59,209
No.
621
00:40:02,001 --> 00:40:04,626
Have you ever done
or said anything to Miss Meladze
622
00:40:04,709 --> 00:40:07,418
that would constitute a breach
of professional conduct?
623
00:40:07,501 --> 00:40:08,376
No.
624
00:40:11,251 --> 00:40:13,626
Have you ever seen Miss Meladze naked?
625
00:40:15,834 --> 00:40:16,918
Go fuck yourself.
626
00:40:17,001 --> 00:40:21,001
You are an employee of the CIA,
and that is an unacceptable response.
627
00:40:21,084 --> 00:40:24,334
Now, have you seen the asset naked?
628
00:40:27,459 --> 00:40:28,334
Yes.
629
00:40:32,209 --> 00:40:34,376
Have you ever had sexual contact
with the asset?
630
00:40:35,834 --> 00:40:38,126
-No.
-Have you ever wanted to have sexual--?
631
00:40:38,209 --> 00:40:40,918
-What kind of fucking question is that?
-You could just answer.
632
00:40:41,001 --> 00:40:44,501
Move on. The question was sexual contact,
asked and answered.
633
00:40:44,584 --> 00:40:45,876
[Hatch clears throat]
634
00:40:48,834 --> 00:40:52,459
Have you witnessed every step
of the asset's vetting process personally?
635
00:40:53,959 --> 00:40:55,209
Yes.
636
00:40:55,918 --> 00:41:00,084
And has Miss Meladze
lied in any of her responses?
637
00:41:01,334 --> 00:41:03,334
It's too broad of a question.
I can't answer that.
638
00:41:03,418 --> 00:41:08,001
Okay. To the best of your knowledge,
has she lied about anything?
639
00:41:13,668 --> 00:41:14,876
No.
640
00:41:21,501 --> 00:41:22,793
Are you compromised?
641
00:41:25,626 --> 00:41:27,459
Fuck yourself.
642
00:41:28,293 --> 00:41:31,543
Okay, you got what you needed.
This session is finished.
643
00:41:36,209 --> 00:41:37,334
[shouts]
644
00:41:40,334 --> 00:41:41,918
Ah! [groans]
645
00:41:52,043 --> 00:41:53,876
-You okay?
-No. That was humiliating.
646
00:41:53,959 --> 00:41:57,834
I know, but you passed
and so did your asset.
647
00:41:57,918 --> 00:41:58,793
Wait.
648
00:42:00,043 --> 00:42:01,293
-Seriously?
-Yeah.
649
00:42:02,126 --> 00:42:03,751
Oh, good. Fuck.
650
00:42:03,834 --> 00:42:05,876
-Listen, about Max--
-Stop.
651
00:42:05,959 --> 00:42:08,459
I truly do not care
that you saw her naked.
652
00:42:08,543 --> 00:42:10,834
I'd be shocked
if she didn't try and seduce you.
653
00:42:10,918 --> 00:42:13,126
-That's Asset 101.
-Yeah.
654
00:42:14,918 --> 00:42:17,168
And it's not why I'm breaking up with you.
655
00:42:18,251 --> 00:42:21,293
What? Wait, you're breaking up with me?
656
00:42:22,751 --> 00:42:26,209
You're a fun guy, Owen.
And the sex is top notch.
657
00:42:27,751 --> 00:42:31,709
But this thing that you do
where you stumble through serious stuff
658
00:42:31,793 --> 00:42:34,126
and hope that it works out well...
659
00:42:36,168 --> 00:42:37,876
it's too 20-something for me.
660
00:42:39,876 --> 00:42:41,626
I have my whole career mapped out.
661
00:42:41,709 --> 00:42:45,001
The last thing that I need
is to be dating some wildcard
662
00:42:45,084 --> 00:42:47,334
who doesn't even know what tomorrow holds.
663
00:42:53,793 --> 00:42:58,001
Be very careful with those two women.
You can't trust either of them.
664
00:43:01,709 --> 00:43:02,668
Yeah.
665
00:43:05,709 --> 00:43:08,126
Congratulations,
not only did you pass your polygraph,
666
00:43:08,209 --> 00:43:09,793
but you got your boss to call mine
667
00:43:09,876 --> 00:43:12,668
to insist that you stay
on my operation through reinsertion?
668
00:43:12,751 --> 00:43:14,543
No, I didn't.
669
00:43:15,168 --> 00:43:18,751
But if you ever try to sabotage me again,
it'll end badly for you.
670
00:43:18,834 --> 00:43:20,376
Consider me unafraid.
671
00:43:20,459 --> 00:43:21,584
Enough posturing.
672
00:43:21,668 --> 00:43:24,626
Let's focus on what's next:
buying my way back in.
673
00:43:25,501 --> 00:43:27,626
Do you know yet who I need to bribe?
674

No. There's a giant list of sanctioned
